Una parte sustancial de la mejor Teoría Internacional que se realiza en el presente pasa por el conocimiento de los clásicos. Hay autores clásicos en Teoría Internacional, pero sobre todo hay temas clásicos. Uno de ellos, para muchos principal y central, es la guerra. O su contrario, la paz. Pero, ¿qué decir del Derecho de Gentes cuando la denominada multiculturalidad, el cosmopolitismo y los mestizajes derivados de las migraciones internacionales lo redescubren? Las concepciones del mundo configuran al propio mundo en gran medida. A su vez, éstas tienen períodos de vigencia que dependen del grado de conocimientos que una época y una cultura poseen sobre el mundo circundante. En el fondo, lo que hace una gran parte de los teóricos internacionales es proponer las concepciones del mundo en el que viven. La actual Teoría Internacional ha mejorado notablemente. Este progreso se deriva del serio intento de acometer de forma deliberada una construcción formal del conocimiento, calificable como una Teoría de la Política Internacional, y también de cómo puede y debe aplicarse este concepto a una formulación más consistente de la materia. Esto ha permitido proponer tesis e hipótesis más avanzadas así como acuñar conceptos más precisos, mejorar el lenguaje y la articulación lógica de los argumentos, y abordar una mayor indagación histórica, filosófica y crítica.

In this thought-provoking book, Paulo Ravecca presents a series of interlocking studies on the politics of political science in the Americas. Focusing mainly on the cases of Chile and Uruguay, Ravecca employs different strands of critical theory to challenge the mainstream narrative about the development of the discipline in the region, emphasizing its ideological aspects and demonstrating how the discipline itself has been shaped by power relations. Ravecca metaphorically charts the (non-linear) transit from “cold” to “warm” to “hot” intellectual temperatures to illustrate his—alternative—narrative. Beginning with a detailed quantitative study of three regional academic journals, moving to the analysis of the role of subjectivity (and political trauma) in academia and its discourse in relation to the dictatorships in Chile and Uruguay, and arriving finally at an intimate meditation on the experience of being a queer scholar in the Latin American academy of the 21st century, Ravecca guides his readers through differing explorations, languages, and methods. The Politics of Political Science: Re-Writing Latin American Experiences offers an essential reflection on both the relationship between knowledges and politics and the political and ethical role of the scholar today, demonstrating how the study of the politics of knowledge deepens our understanding of the politics of our times.

Analyzes the evolution of contemporary art in Chile from 1973 to 2007. This edition reproduces more than 500 color images of works by 74 contemporary artists (selected by editor Mosquera) including names such as: Juan Downey, Carlos Arias, (Santiago, Chile, 1964); Juan Castillo, (Antofagasta, 1952); Eugenio Dittborn, (Santiago, Chile, 1943); Paz Errzuriz, (Santiago, Chile, 1944); Volupsa Jarpa, (Rancagua, 1971); Carlos Leppe, (Santiago, Chile, 1952); and Carolina Ruff, (Santiago, Chile, 1973), as well as younger generation artists. The artists are presented in alphabetical order with brief introductory texts. Each reproduced work is rigorously documented with a caption that, in addition to providing the technical data offers the reader a description of the work for better comprehension. Six essays by noted critics and art historians: Guillermo Machuca, Mar̕a Berr̕os, Justo Pastor Mellado, Catalina Mena, Nelly Richard y Adriana V̀lads (description provided by vendor).

a importancia del libro Teorías sobre relaciones internacionales. Perspectivas y lecturas desde América Latina radica en la exposición de parte del debate que se da entre académicos y pensadores inscritos en distintas corrientes teóricas, sobre todo en lo relacionado con el lugar donde se construye el conocimiento. En nuestro caso, elaborar propuestas que se originan en la particularidad latinoamericana, un conocimiento situado, y desde el cual también es posible pensar el sistema internacional. Esto último se vio enriquecido con propuestas teóricas y metodológicas elaboradas en otras regiones del planeta, las cuales han visualizado y también cuestionado las relaciones internacionales por ser una disciplina enraizada en la tradición del pensamiento occidental. Con este libro los integrantes del Observatorio de Análisis de los Sistemas Internacionales (OASIS), de la Universidad Externado de Colombia, desean contribuir en la reflexión planteada y, además, ser parte activa en el debate contemporáneo, el cual involucra la práctica, la utilidad y las modalidades en los estudios en relaciones internacionales.

Lady Duff Gordon is the toast of Victorian London. But when her debilitating tuberculosis means exile, she and her devoted lady's maid, Sally, set sail for Egypt. It is Sally who describes, with a mixture of wonder and trepidation, the odd ménage marshalled by the resourceful Omar, which travels down the Nile to a new life in Luxor. As Lady Duff Gordon undoes her stays and takes to native dress, throwing herself into weekly salons; language lessons; excursions to the tombs; Sally too adapts to a new world, affording her heady and heartfelt freedoms never known before. But freedom is a luxury that a maid can ill-afford, and when Sally grasps more than her status entitles her to, she is brutally reminded that she is mistress of nothing.

Applied Biomechatronics Using Mathematical Models provides an appropriate methodology to detect and measure diseases and injuries relating to human kinematics and kinetics. It features mathematical models that, when applied to engineering principles and techniques in the medical field, can be used in assistive devices that work with bodily signals. The use of data in the kinematics and kinetics analysis of the human body, including musculoskeletal kinetics and joints and their relationship to the central nervous system (CNS) is covered, helping users understand how the complex network of symbiotic systems in the skeletal and muscular system work together to allow movement controlled by the CNS. With the use of appropriate electronic sensors at specific areas connected to bio-instruments, we can obtain enough information to create a mathematical model for assistive devices by analyzing the kinematics and kinetics of the human body. The mathematical models developed in this book can provide more effective devices for use in aiding and improving the function of the body in relation to a variety of injuries and diseases. - Focuses on the mathematical modeling of human kinematics and kinetics - Teaches users how to obtain faster results with these mathematical models - Includes a companion website with additional content that presents MATLAB examples
